Self Hypnosis and Fractionation
One of the least applied secrets of self hypnosis is the principle of fractionation.
What is fractionation?
Fractionation is the process of moving in and out of an experience in order to go deeper into the experience.
Most physical trainers know to have their students go into a stretch, then come back out, then go into the stretch a little bit deeper. In many classes (karate, yoga, etc.), this is done a minimum of 3 times to help the student sink deeper into the stretch.
Stretching your mind and your emotions works in a similar way, but in this realm you do not have to be concerned with physical limitations. You can use fractionation to mentally and emotionally stretch yourself as far as you want to go.
Why learn fractionation?
If you want to increase relaxation, focus, emotional intelligence, or any trait, belief, attitude, etc. that is based off your mind or your emotions… one of the quickest, easiest, and safest ways is with fractionation.
If you really want to open up and expand your range of experience, fractionation is one of the best ways to do it.
How can you start to practice fractionation right now?
Fractionation can be done with virtually any emotion or mind-body state, but it is easy (and highly useful) to start with relaxation. Deep relaxation feels good and it brings a powerful level of clarity as well.
- Find a quiet place where you can sit and relax peacefully.
- Close your eyes… take deep, slow breaths… and focus in on the relaxation throughout your body. Gently pour all your awareness into the feelings of relaxation. Enjoy the relaxation. State to yourself: “Every time I go into a state of relaxation, I can go even deeper than I went the last time.”
- Now open your eyes and imagine stepping out of the state for a moment… imagine yourself stepping back from that deep relaxation… imagine yourself observing the deep relaxation and noticing just how deep it is from a 3rd person perspective.
- Now close your eyes again and step back into the relaxation even deeper, as you breathe deeply and slowly. Notice how much deeper you can now go as opposed to the first time. Remind yourself that every time you go into a state of relaxation, you can go even deeper than you went before.
- Repeat this as many times as you like. You can spend just a few seconds, or several minutes sinking into relaxation every time you go in, come back out, then go back in a little bit deeper.
There are almost endless ways in which you can practice fractionation everyday. All you have to do is identify the state of mind (or belief, attitude, emotion, etc.) that you want to be able to experience more deeply, then practice stepping in and out of it. As you do, notice how you go a little deeper every time.

Stop Negative Thoughts With Self-Hypnosis
Negative thinking can be destructive and a major reason that we tend to be unsuccessful in our endeavors. We dream big dreams but we are often drawn back by our negative thoughts that we can never make it, or we can never achieve it. If you want to be happy and successful, then you have to find ways to stop negative thinking.
It is not that easy to get rid of negative thoughts though. Many people are willing and are very interested to lose weight these days but those who fail often say they cannot just go on and some negative thoughts are just in their mind such as being too tired to exercise or they are too lazy to wake up early in the morning.
Even at work, you may sometimes refuse to take bigger tasks or responsibilities at work because the negative thought that you can’t handle it came running in your mind. Indeed, these little negative thoughts hinder us to go for our dreams and goals and sometimes we don’t even think of them consciously, they just pop out of our minds.
The subconscious is a large part of our minds and some things that we may not received consciously may have gone deep into our subconscious affecting our attitudes and behavior, and that’s when we act negatively about a situation or think negatively of a person.
These days, there are many ways to conquer negative thoughts and one of this is hypnosis. In fact, hypnotherapy has been used in medical and military science and has helped a lot of people overcome their fears and anxieties, which can be largely due to some negative thoughts built up in the subconscious.
If you want to stop negative thinking, you can opt for hypnosis where a hypnotist will help condition you to a quiet and relaxing state and helping you overcome negative thoughts and fears.
You can also choose to do the hypnosis yourself so you won’t be needing another person if you want to practice it. Self-hypnosis is done by putting yourself into a deep relaxation with some techniques used like deep breathing, the use of a relaxing music and visualization. Sometimes it involves fixing your eyes in a moving object to help you relax your mind, although this is not necessary.
Once you are in a trance state where your subconscious is said to be easy to influence, you can then have positive affirmations and suggestions sent into your subconscious that will help you eliminate negative thoughts and reprogram your mind with positive ones. Keep in mind that self-hypnosis cannot stop negative thinking with just one session. You subconscious can be programmed with repetition, just like how your negative thoughts are being kept there, as you have repeatedly heard them over the years.
Practicing self-hypnosis can even help you not just only in overcoming negative thoughts but conquering bad habits as well. Indeed, you may have known how difficult it is to overcome a habit, but you can do it with the help of your subconscious.
Keep in mind too that negative thinking can be contagious so if you want to stop negative thinking, also make sure that you are surrounded with positive people and you have positive influences in life.
